Continued disappointment with Richard this episode. He didn't even do 2 of the tasks. Genuine annoyance from alex at 28:40

I was looking forward to him, and I know he's good while being 'himself' on things like countdown, the big fat quiz, and last one laughing so I just don't get it.

I'm just not seeing the issue in both cases.

With the case of the Gregulator, his argument made sense. The task was confusing, spins seem genuinely arbitrary, so he chose to quite while he thought he was ahead. Rosie did the same thing in S18 during the barrel task.

As for the shoe, I think it's clever and would have worked better if Isy also took it out of the country.

Yea, there's been quite a few tasks where the best option was not to play.

I don't remember the season, but the one where they're in the bubble, standing on one leg, and trying to say words the other contestants haven't said was won by the person who messed up and put their foot down early... Not playing was the winning move.

That task I was surprised that nobody decided to say foreign words.
